Hi there, just a quick post to let you know that you can now listen to the most popular posts on this blog via the new blog-to-podcast service from the guys at HearABlog.

I like their idea because it's so focused and useful at the same time: they take a blog and have an actor read it aloud, that's it! It's great for accessibility and I have found it a great way to keep up with some of my favorite blogs like A Smart Bear and Seth Godin's blog.

Michael Hackney just posted a tutorial on how to assemble multiple mockups into an HTML+image map+CSS "runnable" demo. I know many of you are waiting for this feature to be part of Mockups, but in the meantime you can use Michael's files as a template. Check out his sample demo, it's really cool! Thanks Michael!

I should really be doing something else right now, but I wanted to get this out.

I think it'd be fair to say that I use "the cloud" and web apps more than anyone I know. Still, there are still some desktop applications that I use all the time, and cannot imagine a future without them.

All I can say is wow. It's been a long time since a website impressed me, so I had to share.

Notice the balanced, clean, readable design. The whole site is on ONE page, just good copy, to the point - no links other than their email address. View the page source for more impressive features: a little script that encodes their email address to fight spambots and a hidden div with what looks like a site-map for search engine optimization.

Very impressive, especially if you compare it with how heavy, slow-loading, over-the-top advertising and portfolio websites usually are.
